Create: Black Cocktail • Blackthorn Winter • London, 1850 • More... Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

Why isn't there a plot summary ("Spoilers follow...")? Nuttyskin 03:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion moved from Talk:The Well of Loneliness/Comments

I changed the rating of this page from 'stub' class to 'A' class - it looks extremely concise and well referenced.--HisSpaceResearch 06:48, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Although I agree in principle, I feel that an article should at least have undergone a peer review before it can be awarded with A-status. Without such a review, POV issues are much more likely to exist (in general). Errabee 14:30, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

I've updated the class to GA, since it has been listed as a GA. Aleta 17:46, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination

Good morning (GMT time); I have passed this article as a Good Article under the GA Criteria. However, my advice for approval is:

• Insert more relevant images to the article, particuarly in the second tenth of the article. (This is in line with WP:GA? point 6) (a) - (c).)
• As defined in WP:GA? point 2) (b), although the use of Inline Citations are not mandatory, they are strongly desired. This is where the references section has the code "</references>" and each reference is of the format <ref>text and/or [[internal]] or [external] link here.</ref>.

Otherwise, congratulations are in order for the lead editors - well done, and keep up the excellent work!

Kind regards,

Thank you! I'm a little surprised by the second suggestion, though -- are the 154 footnotes (not counting duplicates) not enough, or am I missing the point?

Illustrating this article is a bit difficult in the current climate of sharply restricting Fair Use on Wikipedia, but I'll see what I can do. —Celithemis 01:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
